Intel Rapid Storage Technology application will no longer open
- Thread starter NeilF

Thought I'd give you an update on this as Intel are now in the mix too 
So to set the scene, after installing the Intel 660P M.2, my old V13 of Intel Rapid Store showed all my sata drives but not my new 660P. I installed V17 and V16, both of which then basically failed to run. On the advice from this forum, I then reverted back down to V14, and that reverted the behaviour to all my Sata drives being listed, but just not the 660P M.2.
I thought I'd raise this with Intel out of interest. I've had a merry old dance with them, basically getting no where, over and over. BUT, after discussing, how:-
- The drive is working fine in Windows 10.
- The drive is working fine in Macrium.
- The drive is working fine even with the Intel SSD Toolbox application.
...they're advice to make the drive appear in Intel Rapid Store Technology I need to... *drum roll* re-install my entire OS, with all the countless hours of faff that involves!!!
At this point, I think I don't trust their advice, and I think they're just trying one thing after another and ignoring the obvious fact the problem is probably simply with Intel Rapid Store Technology, and reinstalling OS will most likely achieve nothing.
TBH I don't really case the 660P isn't listed in the Intel Rapid Store Technology application (I never open it ), so I'll just leave it now!
